The beginning of a story

And then a friend thought enough of me to tell me about a business he was in, a way to get some of those luxuries that the budget never leaves any room for. And, if I was willing to work for it, a way I could retire in five years with a permanent income that would allow me to make my Dream come true. My friend said there are only two things that make a difference in what you´re going to be doing five years from now - the friends you keep and the books you read. I looked at the friends I had and the books I read, and the bank balance I wished I had, and the future I didn´t have on my job, and realized I wasn´t getting anywhere. That´s when I decided to take a look at this business.
